I was told about your blog on another cruise website and had to join and tell you I've enjoyed all of it! We'll be on the Jade this August, London to Barcelona.

I'm also looking foward to the continuation when you board the Carnival Freedom. We've been looking at the Freedom's Mediterranian itinerary and I'll be very interested to read your about your insights and thoughts as you cross the Atlantic. I followed John Heald's blog for quite a while during the Freedom's maiden voyages in Europe.

So there you have it...my first post on Cruisemates. Thanks so much for a terrific blog.
